“Would You Like to Become Pregnant in the Next Year?”

A simple, routine question can improve health care.

Last week’s Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case may
keep access to contraception out of reach for many women. In sharp contrast, a
new program in Oregon puts reproductive health care front and center for all
women.

The Oregon initiative, called One Key Question, aims to make sure
that during each medical visit, a woman of reproductive age is asked: “Would
you like to become pregnant in the next year?”
